Is Musk's Wealth Set to Create History?

Elon Musk is moving closer to becoming the world's first trillionaire. According to Forbes estimates, his net worth has already crossed approximately ₹75 lakh crore. A major factor behind the expected surge in his wealth is SpaceX, in which Musk holds more than 50% stake. If the company's anticipated public listing boosts its valuation as expected, Musk's wealth could rise to around $1.11 trillion, making him the first person in history to cross the trillion-dollar mark.

Musk's wealth is already greater than the annual GDP of several countries. The combined fortunes of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison, and Google co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin are only slightly above the trillion-dollar level. Forbes estimates that the world's 50 most valuable sports teams are worth a combined $353 billion, a figure still far below Musk's projected fortune.

Meanwhile, Musk expressed concern over India's declining fertility rate. Referring to recent demographic data, he noted that India's fertility rate has fallen from 2.3 to 1.9 within a decade, below the replacement level of 2.1. In Delhi, the fertility rate has reportedly dropped to 1.2. Musk warned that declining birth rates could pose long-term demographic challenges for the country.
